Anybody who complains about FMA:B has not read the manga and therefore all their arguments are null.

>>22055038
the manga was shit and so are you

>>22055038
Fucking signed.

>>22055038
Agreed.

I remember when the first anime came out, many fans complained that it was too angsty.

FMA 2 sucks because it's FMA.

>>22055038
Exactly. I also thought that the manga was boring at first, and I left it after we saw "Father"... a few months ago, I picked it again and... WOW, it turns even more awesome than the original anime. A few less drama, but I won´t complain about that

FMAB sucks because the animation is shit.

I agree, the old series was kiddy shit as well.

itt: shitfucks erroneously believe that because something is canon it somehow shields it from valid criticism

The only reason people complain about FMA:B is because 'it is too slapstick' which basically amounts to 'it's not angsty enough'.

The manga had massive amounts of slapstick and comedy, it never gets overly dramatic or depressing, with the exception of Mustang vs Envy. There are even comedy 4komas included, for fucks sake.

The only other argument is 'The new design/animation is shit'. No it isn't, it was made to suit the atmosphere and style of the manga more; Original FMA was good, but too dark.

Also, there are 95 chapters to work with and an unlimited number of episodes, BONES is not going to dawdle over the initial stuff we saw in S1. So stop complaining about 'HUGHES DIDN'T GET ENOUGH ATTENTION' or 'BAWWW, NEEDS MORE ROSE'

>Edward
>Immature yet thoughtful?

Wat? The Ed I remember was an angst ridden boy trying to be older than he really was, growing up in an inviorment most adults suffer under while occasionally acting comically or helping someone when it was in his best interest. Sure, even when there was very little to gain on his part he never went OUT OF THE WAY to help anyone. To be honest, I always thought he was kind of a prick.

slapstick is shit that was funny in the early 90s

fuck that unfunny horseshit

Original FMA anime = Very angsty, dark, fanpandering
New FMA anime = Bright, comedic, upbeat and faithful.

New FMA > Old FMA

The new FMA doesn't even get the manga's emotion right.

>>22055353
I like how the series is more condensed. Unlike the first series, it doesn't spend 3 episodes on something that can be illustrated accurately in 11 minutes.

they've barely even gotten into the grimdark content yet anyway, jesus christ

I laughed when that dude died this time around

The series would have been 500 times better if the manga followed the original anime's storyline. Something about alchemy and science worlds has so much potential (except the movie totally fucked it over).

>>22054990
He's bascally bawwwwing because Ed isn't emo enough. The fact that people like him hate Brotherhood so much, makes me love it and the manga that much more. Fucking retards want to see the same shit all over again? What would even be the point of making a second series. Frankly people who liked the first series and hate this one should just stop watching it, stay away from the manga and for the love a fuck stop bawwwing about it every five fucking second. Don't like it, DONT FUCKING WATCH IT! Its so very fucking simple that even the dumbest of inbred rednecks could understand it.

>>22055603

You do know that there's a stage in between "bawww" and "silly LOLRANDUM deformed faces", right?

Because Brotherhood's got a bit of a lean towards the second of the two.

>>22055569
Yes, just like Harry Potter is the greatest work of fiction ever.

The art style is just too....uh....Spongebob for me.

>>22055671

Because suddenly FMA would become the greatest animu ever if you followed my opinion's advice.

Nice try, guy.

Also, Harry Potter already has the magical world and human world take place within the same bounds. The actual spreading of magic to the human world took place later along but the borderlines were already set from the start.

>>22055267
I've yet to hear any valid criticisms. All it's been is "bawwww, its not emo and overly dramatic enough!"

>>22055663
Okay emo, why don't you just go watch the first season again instead of whining about it. Oh and kill yourself.

>>22055038
Who gives a fuck about the manga.

They can like whatever they want to. I agree with OP's picture, except I never had any special feelings for Ed anyway. I was neutral. Now I find him unbearable, ESPECIALLY his voice.

I'll probably watch this dubbed, though.

>>22055663
>Brotherhood's got a bit of a lean towards the second of the two.
Just like the manga, then.

>>22055697
go back to /co/ where you belong

>>22055737
Sure it would bro. That's why they didn't do that. Maybe you should think about that for a little bit and realize why.

I agree with OP image completely, yet I will still watch in the hope that maybe... maybe it will improve.

>>22055419
This. And its not like the manga never gets grimdark. The portrayal of the events in Ishbal was FAR more fucked up than it was in the anime.

>>22055775
You complain about his voice and then admit you are a dubfag. Way to look like an idiot.

>>22055820
You can stop waiting, it's never going to happen.

>>22055775
But... he's got the same voice actor as he did the last time.

>>22055751

So now a neutral stance is considered emo? Please head back to elementary school. They should help you get started on the skills needed to discern extremes.

I'm sorry your pure-FMA ass is so butthurt.

>>22054990
>tl;dr
Proof that fat annoying ugly fangirls browse /a/.
Yup

Oh there it is just coming by, young lady.

I see what you mean but the ANIMATION is pretty bad. We got QUALITY and I'm pretty sure it is not to be "closer to the original FMA."
Ha~ha~ha~ just an other day on /a/
I FUCKING HATE YOU ALL

The first anime created forced melodrama everywhere it could. FMA manga goes from upbeat and humorous to pretty depressing but it always handles each aspect well and lets the drama and the sad things stand on their own unlike the 1st anime which threw it all in your face and BAWWWWW'D about it.

The Ishbalan war flashbacks are more shocking and depressing than Hughes death by the way. I can't wait to see those parts animated especially Armstrongs' breakdown ;_;

My only issue with Brotherhood is the pacing but that's understandable considering they want to get to the unanimated manga content.

>>22055832
What's wrong? Too OPINIONSLOL for you?

Seriously, it's impossible to hold up a decent conversation with you people. Stop acting like you're 10 years old and accept the fact some people don't agree with you. Inciting an argument and trying to force them to see things your way never works.

I don't like the annoying slapstick "humour" or Ed's voice. Besides that, FMA is decent.

>>22055865
sure is summer in here

>>22055921
Go back to animesuki then. I'm sure you will find some "intelligent" conversation there.

>>22055746
shit animation

in b4 convenient lapse of reading ability

>>22055859
I never watched it while it was airing. I wasn't interested until a friend showed me a dubbed episode. I proceeded to download the rest and thought it was alright.(Yes there were over-dramatic depressing scenes, but what's so bad about that?)

>>22055896
And that is exactly why the manga >>>>> first series, and
I actually saw the first anime before i even read the manga.

New FMA has
-Less character development
-less plot development
-rushed story pacing
-stupid lol random XD humour moments that are not funny
-poor quality animation when compared to previous FMA (everything looks flat/shit)
-Worse Gate design
-Shitty fucking retarded english VA eyecatch that spoils every fucking episode

Oh yeah guys, this is WAYYYY better than the old FMA.

>>22055921
>Stop acting like you're 10 years old and accept the fact some people don't agree with you.
Welcome to /a/, hope you hate your stay and talk about serious and deep anime for serious and deep people like you.
> Inciting an argument and trying to force them to see things your way never works.
Or maybe you could just try to not be a fat fangirl?

>>22055934

Sure is out-of-retorts-here-so-I'll-use-the-same-sure-is-summer-excuse-when-my-shit-just-got-told around here.

Also, you'll have proved me right if you respond with a "tl;dr" or "cool story, bro".

Now go play along in some other thread, guy.

>>22055896
The dramatic parts of the manga never once felt forced, and as was mentioned the Ishbal war was waaaaay more fucked up in the manga.

They can't put a single serious moment in the new show. They always fuck it up with shallow and ridiculous jokes. OLOL CHIBI SO FUN KAWAII

>>22056021
Yeah totally bro, you owned that guy. It was so sweet. You were all like "S2 isn't emo enough" then he's like "Fuck you emofag" and then you were like "LOL YOU FELL FOR MY TROLL FAGGOT" and then he was like "fucking summer"

>>22055038

Cool logic, bro

>>22056007
>Or maybe you could just try to not be a fat fangirl?
I don't get what you're trying to say here. "My opinions > Your opinions" is no better than being a retarded fanboy/girl who wears naruto headbands.

Hell, I don't even like FMA nearly as much as most of you.

I don't care. Just as long as I can see her animated.

>>22056083

:3 ugu~u

I WIN THE INTERNET ARGUMENT! In other news, I think One Piece is a better Shounen title, overall. FMA, however, is entertaining enough.
